Tag: Denzel Valentine

I’m super duper sorry that I’m late to the party with this one. This is, like, absolute primo DTB material, Denzel “Devalent” (like “divalent”, get it???? okay bad nickname i’m sorry) Valentine scoring 34 with 8 threes and turning LeBron James into NoDefense Suckballs (actually it was mostly George Hill he was abusing but who…

The final score of this game, 105-89 in favor of the Celtics, does not accurately represent how much of a complete massacre it was. I watched a decent chunk of the first half, so it was no surprise when I saw their total as they reached intermission: 2 points. 2 points for the whole team…

Here’s my thought process while watching this game: 1st Denzel Valentine floater: “does he not realize floaters are for unathletic point guards who can’t get a shot any other way?” 2nd Denzel Valentine floater: “man Snell was right there this sucks” 3rd Denzel Valentine floater: “hot damn that dude just floatered it in from twenty…

Zach “Stole Aaron Gordon’s Dunk Contest Trophy” LaVine is back in the Bulls lineup (with a sick 3-of-17 shooting display last night), but Denzel Valentine’s minutes didn’t see too much of a hit because Kris Dunn is out with something called a “cunt cushion”. While Dunn recovers from having his brain turned into cottage cheese,…

Denzel Valentine is taking pullup threes now. I don’t know if this is something he’s always done and they’re just now going in, but he’s definitely taking and making them at this point in his career. Good. That’s what he should be doing, because, don’t forget, he was one of the best players in all…

Denzel Valentine is shooting almost 40% from the three-point line, but I don’t feel like there’s much buzz around him being a “good” three-point shooter. Maybe it’s because we’re living in an era where a player can conceivably shoot 45% from three on high volume, or maybe it’s because Denzel has yet to have a…

Denzel Valentine: fastest gun in the East? When this guy is tasked with taking a catch-and-shoot three with a defender somewhere in the area, he just flings it up there. It’s not Anthony Morrow-level don’t-even-dip-the-ball-just-shoot-it-from-wherever-you-caught-it, but he doesn’t take much time at all. That, combined with his lack of follow-through, mean that he has one…

Normally I would express wonderment at the Bulls’ extension of their winning streak to seven games, but nobody should be at all surprised that the Bulls were able to beat the Magic. Maybe I didn’t expect the 112-94 blowout they laid out on them, but I and everybody else expected this win. The Bulls are…

Is Denzel Valentine a legit good three point shooter now? “Good” might not even be a strong enough word. “Elite” is pushing it, but we’re going with it for now. Is Denzel Valentine legit an elite three-point shooter now? He’s making 43% of his six threezone attempts per game, and we’re over a sixth of…

Is it just me (it never is, but isn’t that a great way to start a description?), or has Denzel Valentine changed his shooting form to be more of a throw than a shot? At 1:35 he totally throws the ball in from the three-point line, like he’s my dad or something. The rest of…
